Introduction

The Aruba AP 70 works in conjunction with the Aruba Mobility Controller and can act as a wireless access point or air monitor.
As a wireless Access Point (AP), the Aruba AP 70 pr ovides transparent, secure, high-speed data communications between wireless network devices (fixed, portable, or mobile computers with IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11b/g wireless adapters) and the wired LAN.
As a wireless Air Monitor (AM), a feature unique to Aruba products, the Aruba AP 70 enhances wireless networks by collecting statistics, monitoring traffic, detecting intrusions, enforcing security policies, balancing wireless traffic load, self-healing coverage gaps, and more.
OTE: Service to all Aruba Networks equipment must be performed by trained
N
service personnel only.

Fold-Out Internal Antenna
1
The fold-out antenna allows the Aruba 70 to be placed on a flat table or shelf, mounted on a wall, or suspended from a ceiling (an optional mounting kit is available). If you are configuring external antennas, the internal antenna can be left closed.
The serial number and the model number are on the bottom of the fold-out antenna panel.
OTE: For best performance, swivel the antenna array so that it is oriented
N
vertically. For more information, see Chapter 2, “AP Installation,”.

Indicator LEDs
During operation, the Aruba AP 70 LEDs provide the following information:

LED State Description
PWR Off The device is off - no power.
Green-Solid The device is powered and operating. Green-Flashing The device is powered but is not ready for oper ation
(typically, the AP is booting).
ENET0/1 Off No link on the FE port. No connection to the
network. Green-Solid Ethernet link detected on the FE port. Green-Flashing Transmitting or receiving data across the FE port.
Flashing rate is proportional to network activity.
A Off The wireless interface is disabled or down.
Green-Solid The wireless interface is enabled and functioning as
an Access Point. Green-Flashing The wireless interface is ena bled and functioning as
an Air Monitor.

a.The ENET1 LED on Aruba AP 70 rev D and earlier models configured for 10Base-T traffic does not illuminate, but traffic is processed normally. The ENET1 LED on Aruba AP 70 rev E and later models (circa March, 2005 and later) illuminates when config­ured for 10Base-T traffic. b.The ENET1 LED does not flash when traffic is being processed when configured for 10Base-T half duplex traffic. However, traffic is being processed properly.

Installation Guide
Introduction
Chapter 1
NOTE: LEDs on some Mobility Controller models provide additional status and
security information about directly-connected APs. See the Installation Guide for the Mobility Controller for more i nformation.
3
Air Vents
These vents promote proper air circulation for cooling the device. Do not allow these vents to be obstructed by mounting equipment, network cables, or any other material.
4
FE Ports
The ENET0 and ENET1 ports attach the Aruba AP 70 to a 10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted-pair) Ethernet LAN segment. Both ports support Power over Ethernet (POE). ENET0 also supports Serial Over Ethernet (SOE).
5
USB Ports
This port is used to connect the AP to a host computer to support application specific functionality and for future applications in the RF environment such as RFID tracking or spectrum analysis.
6
DC Power Socket
This socket is used to connect the optional AC power ada p ter (not included). If POE is being used to supply power to the Aruba AP 70, the power adapter is not necessary.
7
B/G Antenna Jack
For external antenna connection.
8
A Antenna Jack
For external antenna connection.
9
Kensington Security Slot
This slot is compatible with a Kensington MicroSaver Security Cable (not included), which can be used to prevent the unauthorized removal of the Aruba AP 70 from its installed location. To secure the Aruba AP 70, wrap a security cable around an immovable object, insert the cable’s lock into the Kensington Security Slot, and turn the key.
To use the Kensington Security Slot while th e Aruba AP 70 is mounted by the mounting slots, the fold-out internal antenna must be in an open position.
See Appendix 3, “Port Specifications” for port and cable specifications.
